EDGE Analysis

Athanasiou tallied at 15:34 of the first period, just 28 seconds after Reilly Smith gave the Golden Knights a 2-0 lead. The goal snapped a four-game point drought for Athanasiou, who has battled a number of injuries and inconsistency this season. The 27-year-old has five goals, four assists, 41 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating through 17 outings, though he's often been limited to a third-line role.

Athanasiou scored a ripper and added an assist in a 3-2 win over the Islanders on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Athanasiou returned from a lower body injury that had kept him out for 16 games and sniped a last second goal against Semyon Varlamov in the final seconds of the second period to give the Kings a 2-0 lead. The speedy center has had two extended stretches of missed time this season, meaning he has played just 12 games, with eight points in that span.

EDGE Analysis

Athanasiou has been out of action since Dec. 14 versus the Lightning, a stretch of 16 games on the shelf due to his lower-body problem. With his injury woes hopefully behind him, the Ontario native should be in line for a top-six role and spot on the power play right away even with his extended layoff.

Athanasiou (lower body) isn't expected to play Thursday versus Pittsburgh, Lisa Dillman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Athanasiou will miss a 10th straight game with his lower-body issue and remains without a definite timetable for his return. The 27-year-old forward will need to be activated off injured reserve before rejoining the lineup, so look for that announcement to precede his return to game action.

Athanasiou (lower body) could be an option against the Penguins on Thursday, per NHL.com.

EDGE Analysis

While the news rules Athanasiou out for Monday's matchup with the Rangers, it does provide a more specific recovery timeline for the 27-year-old center. While injuries have limited the Ontario native to just 11 contests, he has picked up six points in those appearances, making him a solid top-half fantasy option when available.
